Amid the wrangling over who – if anyone — will pay for America’s southern border wall, now comes Mexican drug lord El Chapo. Facing criminal trial in federal court later this year, the captured narcotics kingpin could be ordered to forfeit $14 billion from his drug cartel.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wants the ill-gotten gains earmarked for enhanced border security, including a border wall. Cruz’s El Chapo Act states:
“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any illegally obtained profits resulting from any criminal drug trafficking enterprise led by Joaquin Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, which are criminally forfeited to the United States government as a result of the conviction of Mr. Guzman Loera in federal district court, shall be reserved for security measures along the border between the United States and Mexico, including the completion of a wall.”
A companion measure – H.R. 2186 – has been introduced in the House.
Since El Chapo’s notorious cartel operated out of Mexico, the appropriating bills are, well, appropriate. And because the bulk of illegal narcotics in this country arrive via Mexico, one could argue that future forfeitures should be handled the same way.
To be clear, drug-asset seizures cannot be the sole source of funding for immigration enforcement endeavors. But the El Chapo Act would be a welcome down payment on a wall that Congress continues to slow-walk and shortchange. It’s a no-brainer, even on Capitol Hill.

Two Mexican Cops Sentenced for Beheading Journalist on Mayor’s Order
Two Mexican police officers from Veracruz were sentenced for their roles in the kidnapping and beheading of journalist Moises Sanchez. The mayor of Medellin, the alleged mastermind of the murder, remains at large while the municipal public safety director who reportedly ordered the officers to act was released.
This week, the Veracruz Attorney General’s Office announced it was able to get a 25-year prison sentence against Luigi Heriberto Bonilla Zavaleta and Jose Francisco Garcia for their roles in the murder of the veteran journalist. The cops were initially arrested in 2015 on murder charges.
Moises Sanchez, a reporter with La Union newspaper, was the victim of a brazen kidnapping at the hand of local police officers in January 2015. Weeks after, authorities discovered a large trash bag with his body; he was tortured and beheaded, Breitbart Texas reported.
Shortly after the discovery of Sanchez’s body, authorities arrested local cop Clemente Noe Rodriguez, who confessed to his role and revealed that he acted under the orders of Medellin Mayor Omar Cruz Reyes–who remains at large. The confessed killer also said he and five other cops were ordered to carry out the hit by Medellin Public Safety Director Martin Lopez Meneses on the mayor’s behalf. Lopez Meneses was briefly detained in early 2015 but was released shortly after.
Jan Albert Hootsen, the Mexico representative for the international press freedom organization, Committee to Protect Journalists, stated that the sentence is not the end of the case.
“I cannot stress enough that the sentencing of these two policemen does NOT mean that the Moises Sánchez murder case is solved,” Hootsen said in a public statement. “The former mayor of Medellín also allegedly involved is still at large, as is his former head of security. Justice is still not completely served.”

Former Mexican Cops-Turned-Cartel Gunmen Busted with Federal Agent’s Uniform
Two former police officers from Ciudad Madera, Chihuahua, were arrested for weapons and drug violations on Sunday in Namiquipa, according to the State Attorney General’s office.
The two former police officers were stopped by elements of the state prosecutor’s office after they were observed traveling in a Dodge van, according to Proceso. A search produced a firearm, ammunition, approximately 26.5 pounds of marijuana, and 10 individual doses of cocaine. Investigators also found a police uniform shirt with the Mexican Federal Police insignia, military-type trousers, knee pads, and tactical boots.
During interrogation, the two former cops reportedly admitted to being members of La Linea, the armed wing of the Nuevo Cartel de Juarez or Juarez Cartel. They also admitted to receiving orders from Roberto González Montes, aka “El Mudo” or “EL 32,” who is a well-known violent boss. Local media reports indicate that González Montes is also a former Chihuahua state police officer previously arrested in December 2016 for weapons and drug violations–but was released by a federal judge. Local media reported at the time of his December 2016 arrest, González Montes bribed the arresting officers with $2 million pesos ($100,000 USD), which officers reportedly refused.
González Montes’ La Linea cell was believed involved in an armed confrontation with a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel that occurred in Madera and left 15 gunmen dead. This deadly incident occurred on June 6, 2017, as reported by the state attorney general’s office. The cell is also believed responsible for an attack at a police facility in Las Varas that left two state officers dead in June of 2017.
Breitbart Texas previously reported that the former police chief of Namiquipa was arrested along with two of his officers after being accused of providing protection for a well-known cartel leader, Arturo Quintana Quintana “El 80,” within the Juarez Cartel.
Namiquipa is approximately 125 miles west of the state capital of Chihuahua and is in the path of what is considered a key drug smuggling route into the United States.
